How to Lucid Dream

Learn how to lucid dream. Have you ever wished you could take control of a dream like in a video game? Maybe you could be the hero, fly around in the sky, and have incredible, otherworldly adventures. You could go beyond the rules of our material world!

If that sounds far fetched to you, maybe it’s because you haven’t heard of a phenomenon called “lucid dreaming.” Did you know there’s a whole, wide world of people using dreams to accomplish all kinds of things?

Thomas Edison, Einstein, and Salvador Dali were using altered brain states to make things. Psychotherapists and PTSD patients are benefiting from the healing effects of lucid dreaming. And regular dreamers like you and me are consistently having incredible hypnagogic experiences in the mysterious land between waking and sleeping.

So how does it all work? Could you even get rid of nightmares? When you hear what Rob Counts found in CIA documents, what scientists are working on today, and what some of you have shared right in YouTube comments, you’ll be on your way. Here’s how to lucid dream.

If you’re looking for our podcast, it hasn’t gone anywhere - we will continue to publish those on podcast platforms like Spotify and Apple Music!


So make sure to head over to those platforms if you still want to experience those episodes!

As a lucid dreamer I would say that the hardest thing is to stabilize dreams. Unfortunately they don’t last much. Some people say that they know how to do it. I wish I knew. Everything that I tried didn’t work. It’s true you can change things. It’s vivid and real. You can feel the texture of objects etc. it’s incredible!

I've been lucid dreaming most of my life, I started training myself before I was a teenager. I always had this recurring dream that I was running and just take off flying through the air but could not come down without falling from the sky. So I began training myself to realize I was in a dream and as a way to stabilize the dream to take control I would have to see a red ball, anywhere from the size of a marble to a basketball. If I couldn't find the ball I couldn't get control, now I no longer need the control trigger, can just do so at will. And after doing this for so long now I can also do what I call dream walking, where I go from my dream world to someone else's dreams. It's rather fun to have someone come up and say I was dreaming about u last night and then I tell them what they had dreamt about.

When I was a kid, I always had bad dreams so I started trying to be a dream master. I finally could fly away from monsters and bad people. I could change things in my dream or just go into another dream. As I got older I started having dreams of people I didn't know YET and dreaming of things that haven't happened YET. I've had many dreams come true and I started telling others about my dreams so I'd have a witness so when it happened they'd know too. They are very vivid and I remember every detail. Sometimes it comes true in a month or years, that part is hard to determine. I had one dream I woke up gasping for air and my friend says to me what's wrong with you so I told her about me being in a car accident, well a month later I was in a bad car accident and she remembered it. I'm 54 years old now and I'm very aware when I'm dreaming and can bring things into my dreams or just change them completely. I've also overcome two of my fears in dream state. I feel and think I can not only tap into the future but my spirit goes into the future and that's how I can see things I haven't experienced YET.

Lucid dreaming is a great creative space. I've composed numerous songs and poems. I've flown, I've worked through some troubled childhood experiences and I've learned to trust my own inner being.

I noticed with Lucid dreams, you only have 3 chances to do something supernatural, after those chances you can’t do anything else such as flying running fast or teleporting. Also, changing the dream to much makes the dream aware in a sense I’ve noticed it starts to become more uncontrollable after a while. Honestly I prefer prophetic dreams or dreams that are symbolic referring to my growth in the future. They feel lucid but they have their own path. A lot more satisfying because when I wake up I have something to look forward to in the real world

Before I knew about lucid dreams I would fly in my dreams. This got me interested in studying dreams for a hobby. I found an article in the periodical section of the library about lucid dreams. I studied and became very adept at lucid dreams. From their I tried to learn more about remote viewing but couldn’t find enough information to get anywhere. While studying for finals I left my body and floated out of the room. Out of body experience. Now at 63 I hardly dream at all.

I use a loud ticking clock to get into lucid dreams. Ask myself, "I wonder what the time is?" a few times as I am drifting. As long as I remember this question, I then look for a clock.
If you view a clock in a dream, you can not read the display/face. At this point you know your dreaming. Now the fun begins.

I have never had a nightmare win since learning how to do this over 20 years ago. Nightmares can actually become fun. You take control.

Good luck to those who are interested in this. It's a very real thing.

You’re already in a lucid dream of Spirit. That’s the paradox of consciousness.

I've gone thru arches and ended up in a strange place and someone there told me I wasn't supposed to be there yet. Eventually I was able to escape, but I was chased by demons. I was on the run for months. I woke up completely and physically exhausted, only to learn it was one night. I've been to other planets as well. Humans are definitely not warmly accepted. All these dreams terrified me so much in high school, once I started smoking weed I found it helped the dreams to stop since I wasn't entering rem.

I know when I’m dreaming and I can completely control it. I thought everyone could do this. I can also wake up from a dream and fall back asleep and start it where I left off.
I also suffer from terrible migraines and I’m highly creative.

I've been able to do this since I was a kid. I do remember in grade school our government came to our school and was told they wanted to test the difference between public schools and private schools for their study. They had you lay in a chair and concentrate on floating towards the sky until you came to a barrier we had to remove the barrier. The machine they had would test us if we completed their study. They said only three people passed.

I have lucid dreams, maybe once a month. I realize I’m dreaming during random times, not one specific thing, it seems to just happen. I try all different things during this time, meeting with passed on loved ones, meditating, flying, asking the universe questions, and trying to make the dream disappear. It’s quite amazing.

[FodorPupil]

I could lucid dream when i was young. I'm 52 now, and your video has sparked that memory. I shall practice and hopefully remember how to get to that state once again. Thank you fkr this great video. Informative and succint. Awesome!

[chellfire]

I have these often. I "play" through my dreams like a video game, no matter how scary or hard. But the moment I feel overwhelmed or fearful and my control slipping away, I remind myself I'm dreaming, concentrate, and then *flash* to another dream or continue the dream at a different location. Sometimes, I would be able to fly if I really willed myself.

I used to lucid dream when I was a child but seem to have lost the ability as I go older. It was fun flying around in my dreams back then and I still remember those dreams but don't seem to be able to remember the dreams I have now. This episode has motivated me to try again. Thanks Rob and the Metaphysical team!

[ayshabee]

I lucid dream every night into alternate timelines! I'm fascinated by the mind and consciousness, so this is gonna be epic!!

[dwarvenaled]

The extent to which remote viewing is possible is forward in time, backward in time, seeing from the eyes of others including animals, using natural portals, and general remote sensing events especially traumatic events.

[NotTheKraken-vizf]

This was phenomenal! Thank you Rob, John, and Lindsay – your new weekly deep dives and ongoing longer podcasts are so enlightening, entertaining, helpful, and one-of-a-kind. Just irreplaceable! ☀

I suffer from migraines from time to time and I’ve been able to control my dreams for a long time, since I was a child. And it always ends up where I’m realizing I’m dreaming while I’m in it I’ve always known it as changing the channel like a remote control. Whenever I’d have a nightmare I can “change the channel” mid dream or change whatever is scaring me
